What Types of Storage Arrays We Buy
Excel Recycling specialises exclusively in enterprise and datacenter hardware. We do not handle laptops, consumer drives, or office printers. If it came out of a server room or datacenter, we want it.
SAN (Storage Area Network) Systems
We buy all major SAN platforms, including:
- Dell EMC VNX2, Unity XT, VMAX, PowerStore, SC Series (Compellent)

All-Flash and Hybrid Arrays
The shift to cloud and hyper-converged infrastructure has made all-flash arrays one of the fastest-moving categories in the secondary market. Excel Recycling actively purchases decommissioned all-flash units from data centres across Dubai DIFC, Abu Dhabi KIZAD, and Sharjah Industrial Area.
If you have aging flash capacity sitting idle after a technology refresh, we pay cash and remove it the same day.

How the Process Works
Getting cash for your used storage arrays is straightforward. Excel Recycling handles everything — no forms to fill, no waiting weeks for a payment.
Step 1: Send us your asset list
WhatsApp or email a list of your storage units — brand, model, quantity, and condition. Photos help but are not required. We respond with a quote typically within a few hours.
Step 2: Agree on the price
Our quotes are based on current secondary market rates. Once you accept, we schedule a pickup at your convenience — same day is usually possible across Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.
Step 3: We collect from your site
Our team arrives at your warehouse, office, or datacenter. We handle all the loading and transport. You do not need to arrange any logistics.
Step 4: Cash paid before we leave
Payment is made in full, on-site, before we remove the equipment. No delays, no bank transfers with hidden timelines.

Data Security Before Handover
This is the question most IT managers and procurement officers ask first — and rightly so.
Storage arrays hold sensitive business data. A Dell EMC Unity or NetApp FAS system decommissioned from a financial institution in Dubai DIFC or a healthcare provider in Abu Dhabi carries real data destruction obligations.
Excel Recycling offers:
- NIST 800-88 compliant data wiping — the NIST SP 800-88 standard defines three levels of sanitisation: Clear, Purge, and Destroy. We apply the appropriate level for your hardware and data classification.
- Physical drive destruction — for arrays where wiping is not sufficient (failed drives, heavily classified data), we can arrange physical destruction of the drive media.
- Certificate of destruction — a written record of the sanitisation process, asset serial numbers, and method used. This supports your ISO 27001 documentation and UAE data protection compliance requirements.
If your legal or compliance team requires specific documentation, raise this when you contact us and we will accommodate it.
